L.A. proved too much for the man
So he's leaving the life he's come to know
He said he's going back to find
What is left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago
He said he's leaving
Leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia
He said he's going back to find
A simpler place in time
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than to live without him in mine
He kept dreaming
That someday he'd be a star
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So he pawned all his hopes
And even sold his life


In his own car
What a one-way ticket back
To the life that he once knew
And he's leaving
Leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia
He said he's going back to find
Going back to find
A simpler place in time
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than to live without him
In mine
And he's leaving
Leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia
He said he's going back to find
Going back to find
A simpler place in time
He said he's going back to find

And I'll be with him
With him
With him
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia
